Insutech Lightweight Fill
Insutech Lightweight Fill
Lightweight Fil This low-density concrete solution is designed specifically for void filling, floor leveling, and roof insulation.
By significantly reducing dead loads on concrete structures, it protects the foundation while providing an integrated layer of thermal resistance.
Insutech’s lightweight filling solutions offer physical properties that far exceed traditional backfilling materials like sand or standard concrete:
Ultra-Low Density: Provides a weight reduction of up to 70% compared to traditional sand or gravel fills, drastically decreasing the stress on structural slabs.
Integrated Thermal Insulation: Its unique cellular or lightweight aggregate structure acts as a thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer into the building.
High Fluidity & Ease of Placement: Can be easily pumped over long distances and to extreme heights, significantly saving on time and labor costs.
Dimensional Stability: Minimal shrinkage after drying ensures perfectly level surfaces and prevents cracks in the subsequent finishing layers.
Fire Resistance: A non-combustible material that enhances the overall safety rating of residential and commercial infrastructures.
Quality Assurance: We are committed to supplying materials that strictly adhere to Insutech Egypt’s technical standards.
Cost Optimization: Reducing dead loads translates to reduced steel and concrete requirements in foundations a value-added calculation STC helps you achieve.
Logistics Excellence: We provide rapid supply of materials and necessary machinery to any construction site across the Republic.
Integrated Solutions: We offer waterproofing and thermal insulation systems that seamlessly integrate with lightweight fill solutions.
To ensure the maximum performance of Insutech Lightweight Fill, site experts recommend the following protocol:
Surface Preparation: The substrate must be thoroughly cleaned of dust, oil, and debris to ensure proper bonding.
Mechanical Mixing: Use specialized mixing and pumping machinery to ensure a uniform distribution of air bubbles or lightweight aggregates.
Pouring & Leveling: Direct application into the designated area, followed by leveling using a "screed bar" or trowel to achieve the specified elevation.
Curing: Light water misting for two days post-pouring is recommended to ensure complete hydration and prevent surface hairline cracks.
Roof Sloping (Screed): The preferred choice for creating rain drainage slopes without adding excessive weight to the roof slab, while providing primary thermal insulation.
Floor Leveling (Levelling Screed): Filling voids under ceramic or marble tiles in multi-story buildings to reduce the total structural load.
Pipe Bedding & Encapsulation: Protecting electrical and plumbing conduits under floors while providing a stable, level substrate.
Renovation of Heritage Buildings: Rehabilitating floors and roofs in older structures that cannot sustain heavy additional loads.
Structural Void Filling: Pouring non-structural areas that require lightweight mass to ensure the overall balance of the structure.
